"paint Me As I Am, Warts And All"--cromwell Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCAADD| Brave soul 'twere well if all the same would say | A |
| And artists aim their patron's wish t'obey | A |
| What signifies a wart or e'en a scar | B |
| Leave both skilled hand and paint us as we are | B |
| The crowfeet paint the wrinkles on the brow | C |
| The hollow cheek the form inclined to bow | C |
| The tear dim'd eye the hair well streaked with gray | A |
| The hardened hand begrim'd with soot and clay | A |
| And if you use the seer's revealing glass | D |
| Remember this All flesh is as the grass | D |
